The top in that he’s one of the most visible leftist in the country and the second thing is the point I’m making. There’s nothing stopping the streamers from doing what the older leftist leaders did and using that status to fund larger efforts.
It’s just an obvious point of conflict to me that if you constantly tell people to organize from scratch and donate to this thing or that, it is going to be an issue when people realize the money is already there.
I think people are upset because when you have a movement that runs almost entirely on volunteer labor and donations while the top of it is millionaires it makes the left look like an MLM scheme. Like the whole thing is just arriving in the same space the progressive NGOs did where they realize they can manage a profitable coexistence with the issues rather than really trying to solve anything.
I swear reddit has the saddest anticommunism. Like it’s not even wrestling with any actual communist forces, it’s just teenagers desperately trying to convince themselves the system is going to hold up long enough to give them a future.
Liberal elite discourse manager: I didn’t like Chappelle’s netflix special

I love the underlying implication that support of marginalized people is contingent upon them remaining marginalized.
They can’t even be honest with the MLK one where the FBI was trying to get him to commit suicide.
Looking back I think the Far Cry 5 villains were copied from the Rajneeshee cult in Oregon except they took the leader and made him look exactly like David Koresh.
I’ve yet to see a convincing argument that death is real, let alone that humans are behind it. Have you considered these mysterious “serial killers” are simply scientist covering up the wholes in their morbid theory? We can’t admit these people simply left, there had to be a maniac! Where is the maniac? Nobody knows!
I think it’s something the US will eventually have to do. In the red states especially, many of the aid programs are already sabotaged and when they tried to allocate money to help people with rent, the states were able to block it and let it sit doing nothing. So the obvious solution becomes to bypass this in general by doing universal programs at the federal level with the money we were going to spend anyway.
Personally, I don’t think there is a strong argument against it. The left was just scared of Yang siphoning young voters away. There are already states that essentially don’t have unemployment or any accessible public housing and I know I wish I could have just gotten 1k to sort things out instead of trying to go through all these hoops trying to get money out of intentionally horrible programs.
